did king Arthur have children?

It all depends on which strand of the legends you are reading. In many of the more modern tales, Mordred is his illegitimate son from a relationship he had with his own half-sister.Another son given to Arthur in various tales is named Lohot, sometimes identified as the son of Arthur and Guenevere, sometimes as an illegitimate son of Arthur by a woman named Lionors. Sir Thomas Malory calls him Borre and Bohart in his Le Morte d'Arthur and name his mother as Lisanor.Then there is Arthur the Little who is an illegitimate son of King Arthur in the Post-Vulgate Arthurian Cycle.

how did king Arthur's parents meet

King Arthur's parents met in a very strange way. Uther Pendragon, who was the King of Britain, had fallen in love with a beautiful woman named Igraine, who was the wife of Duke Gorlois of Cornwall. Garlois had heard the news and had Igraine taken from Uther's court to the Cornish Castle. Uther was going to make an attack on his castle , but first asked Merlin, a wizard, for help when Merlin said he should attack another of Garlois castles to get him out of his own castle. While he was out, Merlin changes Uther to look like Garlois to get him into Tintagel safely. Uther and Igraine were together the night while Garlois was killed by Uther's army (Snyder 64). Later Igraine gave birth to a baby boy named Arthur.
